Union Social Eatery

The bare wood tables and large floor to ceiling windows make references to a rustic wood cabin, but this ‘sauga eatery is more like a social after-work hangout, with bubbly servers and an international menu. Its lunchtime and the room is buzzing with the areas business residents. The menu is a mix of American, Thai, Korean, Japanese and Mexican in generous serving sizes.

To start a pomegranate margarita (with fresh pressed limes and pomegranate liqueur) is disappointing and a little on the sweet side; definitely not fresh pressed limes, not a pulp in sight. Caesars are garnished with pickle, onion, cherry tomato, pickled ginger and crisp fatty bacon – divine! The wine list holds more than a few gems – the velvet devil being one of my personal favorites. An order of hand-cut Parmesan truffle fries tossed with thyme and rosemary finished with white truffle oil are almost perfect, needing only and order of garlic aioli. I wanted to test the restaurants rolling skills so I ordered the Social Dragon Roll: crunchy shrimp, avocado, spicy mayo and molasses-soy glaze. The roll dazzles with the right amount of crunch and spice.
